Some Fun Classes This Past Week...It's hard to keep up with all of them. Last Saturday we had two great classes going on at the same time. Upstairs in our little Studio 34 was Shirley the Artsy Fartsy Fairy and her Haunted Halloween Spider House! As you can see by this fun mess that this was the class to get your hands a little bit sticky in. Look at all the fun things they had to work with. Everyone's little haunted house was amazing! Shirley has her annual Christmas Countdown classcoming up on November 19th. That is sure to be another classic fun filled class. Check out our Class Page on the website for more details!

Downstairs in the Classroom...We had Jenny aka the Polka Dot Pixie teaching her Spooky Love class.This was another fun messy class! Paper clay and glue and paints and glitter.Everyone's spooky little couple turned out so cute!Jenny's next class the Snowpixie Cottage will be on December 10th, that's on our website as well.

This month on Wednesday's we've had Jack & Cat show students tricks of the trade with BEESWAX! Another fun and definitely messy class~ and the outcome has been amazing!This Wednesday is their last of the Beeswax Open Lab for the month and it's already half full, so if you want to save a spot for yourself you'd better call in quick!
